This is a list of Presidents of Brazil, in order of longevity. There are currently thirty-five Presidents on the list and six living Presidents. The list is in descending order and is correct as of October 12, 2018. The oldest president is Venceslau Brás (1868–1966), who died at the age of 98 years, 78 days on May 15, 1966. The oldest living former president is José Sarney (born April 24, 1930), who will tie Brás if he lives to July 11, 2028.

To account for the different number of leap days within the life of each president, two measures of longevity are given. The first is the number of whole years the president lived, and the number of days past their last birthday. The second list the total number of days lived by the president, accounting for differing numbers of leap years within the lifespans of different presidents.

Oldest living Presidents of Brazil

Not all presidents live to become the oldest of their time. Of the 29 deceased presidents, 14 eventually became the oldest of their time. Venceslau Bras became the oldest living president when Epitácio Pessoa died in 1942 and remained so until his death in 1966, for a record 24 years and 91 days. Juscelino Kubitschek became the oldest living president after the death of Gaspar Dutra but is the shortest oldest living president - 2 years and 72 days.

On one occasion the oldest living president lost this distinction not by his death, but due to the elect of a president who was older. Prudente de Morais lost this elect when Campos Sales in 1898.

Gaspar Dutra was the oldest to acquire this distinction at the age of 82 years, and 362 days. Washington Luis, who was 87 years, and 282 days old when he died, on 4 August 1957 was the oldest and most recent president to die without ever acquiring this distinction.
